So, for sickness, orange juice and rest?

I’ve never done herbal remedies, but would like to try it out (since I do have the camping pack.) Where do you find the herbs? Are they scattered around somewhere? Can we buy seeds and plant some?

The herbs for herbalism are in GF. You have to collect them there. And also other things like insects for some of the concoctions. The soothing skin balm and other remedies come in handy. So it's a good skill to have if you are planning on trying off the grid.

Ah, okay. So we have to travel to other worlds to get the herbs.

I wish we didn’t have to do that. I wished there were multiple plants in various worlds to create various healing concoctions.

If we can buy remedies from a shop, then maybe I’ll put a shop somewhere. Or maybe find a way to put those plants within the worlds. I don’t want to have my sims travel to others worlds for their needs. :confused:

You never go to Granite Falls for vacation? :o

I don’t do harvesting stuff on the vacations, but now I know it’s there, I can do that for my regular families.

But, this is about Off the Grid living and about Island Living world. I want to be able to do the survival stuff without relying on traveling to other worlds.

And what about the simmer who don’t have that vacation pack?

I don’t have my sims go on vacations often, and I didn’t want these particular sims to be going on vacations and being forced to travel to other worlds.

I don’t mind having a local kiosk or a shack shop selling some important items as long as I am not forced to travel to the other worlds.

If the only way to get herbs is through traveling to that world, then I would just use cheats, then.

Maybe someone has a shop on the gallery with them. Or a room with the collection?

I hope so, and if not, I can perhaps create a small shop selling those herbs or a create a small part of a community lot (like part of a park or near community buildings) that has them.

How would you die? There is the special island fire pit with banana leafs on it that you can do if you're really primitive. Other than that you can use any bbq in the game. Or just go to a bar and eat.

I’m also going to be looking for a shop for herbalism materials mostly because it gets annoying constantly running out of supplies and having to go back to Granite Falls for more. It’s fun the first few times playing through the skill, then it gets a bit old.

Maybe an old voodoo type local will own a strange shop on the island for all my natural remedy needs ?

Has ordering a pizza ever worked for anyone? I think maybe the pizza has actually shown up once out of the many years I’ve played ?

Can they even order a pizza from an Off Grid lot? No internet, will their cell phones be covered?
